Last week, I
sat down with the Foxen Boys – Dick Doré and winemaker Bill Wathen – to share a
bottle of their just-released 2013 Rosé of Mourvedre ($25). Made with fruit sourced from Vogelzang
Vineyard in the Happy Canyon AVA and crushed in their solar winery the old-fashioned
way (by foot), it marks their fifth rosé production. This is idyllic summer sipping, with
strawberries on the nose and refreshing watermelon on the palate. For every bottle you buy during the month of
June, Foxen will donate $1 to the Santa Barbara Breast Cancer Resource Center. A $1 gift will also be made for each sale of
their pink-on-grey “Real Men Drink Pink” and "Real Women Drink Pink" t-shirts. Find all three at www.foxenvineyard.com.
